Heavy Feeding corals and fish? {Chubby but Happy}
Рет қаралды 69,216
5 жыл бұрынDifferent reefers have different preference in terms of what to feed and how to feed our tanks. This is what has been working really well for me! I feed heavy, and it was built up to this amount slowly. If I overfeed I would still get a nice little algae bloom for a week or so.
My preferred quick feeding is with Ocean Nutrition's Prime Reef Flake; for frozen I like LRS Reef Frenzy; for powder coral food I like PolypLab Reef-Roids; and for broadcast feeding I am a HUGE fan of Reef Nutrition's line of products.

Think this was one of the first few videos of yours I watched, remember seeing your frogspawn and being blown away. Euphilyas down in FL are so expensive(I don't understand why...but then again seems like most corals are nowadays) but getting 1-2 heads can cost $100-$200, so see you with a colony was shocking. I've never used pods/phyto/oyster feast before, but going to add some pods to my 2 frag tanks just to keep the tank mature and strong and your video popped up, and thought let's revisit the past. Hope all is well and that things with the new tank are going in a positive direction!

@InappropriateReefer 5 жыл бұрын
Awesome to hear! You really don't need all these much... if I have to pick the minimum, I'd go with Reef-Roids powder for corals and LRS Reef Frenzy for corals with larger mouth, anemone, and your fish to start off. Reef Nutrition Phyto if you end up picking up a clam. Everything else is icing on the cake.

Raising freshwater fish, having spawned and raised many for 43 years. Still running 9 tanks. Into Reef keeping now for 3 years. Running 5 tanks. Various configurations. From all-in-ones to HOB. Have used and evaluated most all foods and products. Sure, a lot is personal choice, but a huge amount is marketing for equipment, foods, supplements etc. if only I had time and I could learn how to KZfaq!

It maybe something else in my case, here's why: Tank is 2 yrs old/I've been feeding just enuff to keep fish alive, almost no feeding for corals/I've let the grows run their course, but not when coral being overrun. I think: My white spec. lighting maybe turned too high, going to shift more blue.

I wish I could find this reef nutrition in a bottle locally. None of my LFS carry it and dont want to pay to ship live food or refrigerated food! I like that its in the big bottle and not the little squares with foil backs!

I have a question for any one who might know the answer, is each polyp in a coral colony responsible for its own nutrition or can one specific polyp share nutrients? For example, I feed a duncan colony mysis, I miss a polyp or 2....are those polyps "going hungry" (besides the nutrition from zooxanthellae) ????

From my understanding, if there is tissue connecting the polyps, then the energy will be shared; otherwise they are stand alone. 🤔
